Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain acceptable parameters of
nutrition for one of three sample residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1's 21-pound weight loss in a 10-day
period was not recognized, addressed, or reported to the physician in a timely manner.This failure had the
potential to lead to malnutrition, nutrient deficiencies, loss of muscle mass, and increased muscle
weakness for Resident 1.Findings:A review of Resident 1's, admission RECORD, indicated that Resident 1
was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which include, but not limited to: Malignant neoplasm of colon
(cancer of the colon-large intestine), dehydration (body loses too much water), surgical aftercare following
surgery on the colon, post-hemorrhagic anemia (lack of iron in the blood due to a large volume of blood
loss), vitamin D deficiency (lack of enough vitamin D), muscle weakness, and need for assistance with
personal care. A record review of weights for Resident 1 indicated the following:9/23/25 = 136.4 pounds
(pounds or lbs.- a unit of measure)9/29/25 = 136.4 lbs.10/3/25 = 115.0 lbs. This was a loss of 21.4 lbs. or
15.7% of body weight over 10 days.11/1/25 = 104.6 lbs. This was a loss of 31.8 lbs. and 23.3% of body
weight over 5 weeks. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/2/25 at 12:40 PM, in Resident
1's room, Resident 1's lunch meal tray was observed. Resident 1 had an opened and mostly full nutrition
shake on her tray table. Resident 1 had consumed approximately 75% of her lunch tray. Resident 1 stated
she was full and tried to drink the nutritional health shakes they give her at each meal. Resident 1 stated
she was not aware she had lost a significant amount of weight but was aware that she was started on a
medication recently to help her appetite. Resident 1 further stated she assumed the medication was to
make her feel hungry since she was diagnosed with colon cancer. During a concurrent observation and
interview on 12/2/25 at 2:18 PM, the Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) was observed weighing residents
and documenting the weights on a handwritten log. The RNA stated the facility policy was to weight each
resident once a week after admission for 4 weeks, then once a month. The RNA stated once she was done
with the log she documented the weights on the log and turned it into the Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON) and the Director of Nursing (DON). The RNA further stated she was supposed to tell the ADON
and DON of any drastic weight changes, a difference of 3 lbs., gained or lost. The RNA did not recall if she
notified anyone of Resident 1's severe weight loss in October. During a concurrent interview and record
review on 12/3/25 at 10:15 AM, Resident 1's medical record was reviewed with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1. LN
1 stated he was not aware Resident 1 was being monitored for weight loss. LN 1 further stated a 21 lb.
weight loss in 10 days was a lot, and the physician and Registered Dietician (RD) should have been notified
when the weight loss first occurred on 10/3/25, and not over a month later. LN 1 confirmed he did not see
any documentation in Resident 1's medical record from 10/3/25 to 11/5/25 the physician was notified or any
documentation or change of condition (COC -Significant decline or improvement in a patient's physical,
mental or functional health status from their baseline, requiring intervention and care plan revision) was
done regarding the weight loss. LN 1 stated it was important to notify the

physician to prevent malnutrition and other health complications. During a concurrent interview and record
review on 12/2/25 at 4:29 PM, Resident 1's medical record was reviewed with the Director of Nursing
(DON) and the Administrator (ADM). The DON stated the expectation for new residents was to be weighed
once a week, for 4 weeks, and then monthly, unless weight loss had been established. The DON further
stated the RNA that weighed the residents was expected to alert her of any weight loss or gain of roughly 3
lbs., in a week. The DON added that once weight loss had been observed the expectation was to notify the
physician, and the weight loss committee would hold an interdisciplinary team (IDT -a collaborative meeting
where healthcare professionals coordinate and discuss complex cases and create person-centered plans
for better health outcomes) meeting to determine cause, and plan interventions to monitor the weight loss
closely. The DON reviewed Resident 1's medical record and confirmed there was no documentation of
physician notification or change of condition related to Resident 1's weight loss. The DON further reviewed
Resident 1's medical record and confirmed Resident 1 was not weighed weekly per expectation and
acknowledged the weight loss was not caught until 11/6/25, more than 4 weeks after it occurred on 10/3/25.
The ADM stated in October 2025, the weight loss was most likely missed due to the facility being in
between DON's and Registered Dieticians. The DON stated the risk to Resident 1 for the facility not
catching the weight loss was continued weight loss, skin break down, muscle loss, and overall worsening of
health conditions. The ADM stated the IDT meetings were important for weights to make sure the staff were
all on the same page and that the correct monitoring and interventions were done. During a concurrent
interview and record review on 12/4/25 at 5 PM, Resident 1's medical record was reviewed by the RD. The
RD reviewed the document, .REGISTERED DIETICIAN NUTRITION ASSESSMENT, dated 11/7/25, and
confirmed his documentation: .NP [Nurse Practitioner] consulted for RD visit d/t [due to] poor appetite and
weight loss. The RD confirmed Resident 1 had met the criteria of severe weight loss which was defined as
greater than 7.5% weight loss in 3 months. The RD confirmed Resident 1 had more than 23% weight loss
in less than 2 months. The RD confirmed the weight loss interventions were not implemented for more than
1 month after the documented weight loss. During a phone interview on 12/8/25 at 3:51 PM, the NP stated
she found Resident 1's weight loss on 11/6/25 when a physical therapist reached out to her regarding
Resident 1 refusing physical therapy and added that Resident 1 had tears in her eyes. The NP stated she
reviewed Resident 1's record and noticed the weight loss. The NP then made orders which included an RD
consultation, among others to address the severe weight loss. During a phone interview on 12/8/25 at 4:09
PM, the Medical Director (MD) confirmed he was Resident 1's attending physician. The MD stated he was
not alerted to Resident 1's severe 21+ lb. weight loss when it occurred on 10/3/25 but became aware of it at
an unknown date in November 2025. The MD could not recall if he received a COC notice regarding the
weight loss. The MD explained that sometimes he attended IDT meetings but had not attended any related
to Resident 1. The MD stated it was his expectation to be notified when there was a significant change in
condition or weight loss within a week to prevent further weight loss. The MD further stated it was important
to be notified about weight loss because the residents could get weaker and not be able to participate in
physical therapy, be at risk for falls, and infections, which could require a longer stay in the facility. Review of
the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, revised 2/21, the
P&P indicated, .Our facility promptly notifies the resident, his or her attending physician.of changes in the
resident's medical/mental condition and/or status.The nurse will notify the resident's attending
physician.when there has been a.significant change in the resident's physical/emotional/mental condition;
need to alter the resident's medical treatment.A significant change of condition is a major decline.that.will

Ensure each resident must receive and the facility must provide necessary behavioral health care and
services.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the psychosocial well-being for one of
three sampled residents (Resident 1), when the Social Services Department failed to process a referral for
a psychiatric evaluation for Resident 1 in a timely manner. This failure had the potential to worsen Resident
1's feelings of sadness, loneliness, and depression. Findings: A review of Resident 1's clinical record titled,
admission RECORD, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included, but
was not limited to: Hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and hemiparesis (a condition
characterized by partial weakness on one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (a type of stroke
caused by a blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the brain), malignant neoplasm of the colon
(cancer that forms in the large intestine characterized by abnormal cells that grow and invade healthy
tissue), surgical aftercare following surgery on the colon (partial colon removal), muscle weakness and
need for assistance with personal care. A review of Resident 1's clinical record titled, Order Summary,
dated 12/3/25, indicated the following order: .Psych (Psychiatric) referral, resident refusing therapy, per
[Physical] therapist had tears on [Resident 1's] eyes.Prescriber Written.Date Ordered 11/06/25. During an
interview on 12/3/25 at 10:20 AM, Resident 1 stated she was not happy and felt, upset and depressed,
about the colon cancer and the possibility of having further surgery. Resident 1 denied seeing a therapist or
having anyone to talk to about her current diagnosis. Resident 1 further stated that talking to family or a
counselor might help, but the facility had not offered the help. Resident 1 began to cry and stated she did
not want to hurt herself but added that if she did not wake up tomorrow she would be okay with it. Resident
1 denied a plan for self-harm. Resident 1 further stated she had been feeling sad, lonely, and depressed
about being in the facility and her medical diagnosis of colon cancer. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 12/2/25 at 1:08 PM, with the Social Services Director (SSD), Resident 1's clinical record
was reviewed for a referral. The SSD confirmed an order was entered by a Nurse Practitioner (NP) on
11/6/25 indicated, .Psych Referral. The SSD stated the referral process steps included anytime an order for
a referral for a psychiatric or psychological evaluation was entered into the resident's medical record, the
nursing staff was supposed to print a copy and give it to her. The SSD confirmed the referral was never
processed. During an interview on 12/3/25 at 3:38 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
the expectation for a referral was to be completed in a timely manner. The DON further stated it was
important for the residents to feel safe and secure and for Resident 1's mental health to be whole. The DON
added it was important for Resident 1 to have an outlet for her feelings. During an interview on 12/8/25 at
3:51 PM with the Nurse Practitioner (NP) that referred Resident 1 for a psychiatric evaluation, the NP stated
she was not aware the psychiatric referral was never completed. The NP stated the purpose of the
psychiatric referral was so they could get more detailed information from Resident 1. The NP stated,
medication or an end-of-life discussion could be beneficial, if Resident 1 was willing. The NP stated the risk
to Resident 1 for not getting the psychiatric evaluation was further depression or mental health worsening if
it went untreated. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Referrals, Social Services, revised
12/08, indicated, .Social services personnel shall coordinate most resident referrals.Social services will
collaborate with the nursing staff.to arrange for services that have been ordered.Social services will
document the referral in the resident's medical records.
